Chapter 324
Gu Xuebin looked at the sky and said, "Since you want to go over, then let's leave now." You can get through it before it gets dark. Otherwise, you'll have to spend the night outside. ”
I've been camping outside for the past few days, and mosquitoes in the wild are counted, as long as Su Jinyao's Divine Gu King comes out and wanders around, no insect dares to approach.
But now it's late summer and early autumn, and the weather is cool in the morning and evening, and there is dew at night, so if you get camping, your clothes are slightly wet when you wake up in the morning (shēn).
Even if Gu Xuebin repeatedly took care of Su Jinyao in his arms, it was unavoidable. So he looked forward to leaving here as soon as possible so that he could find an inn to rest.
Su Jinyao was surprised: "It takes more than an hour to walk through here, and now it's sunset, and the woods are covering the sky (rì), and it's already completely dark before you reach halfway." ”
Gu Xuebin shook his head and said, "That's a blindfolded way of walking." I walked straight in, so it took less than half an hour. Of course, if you hallucinate in the Lost Forest, it will be very dangerous. ”
Su Jinyao was surprised: "In other words, if you are blindfolded, you may be going around in circles inside?" ”
Gu Xuebin affirmed and said, "The things in it are a little strange, maybe you can recognize Jinyao." It seems to be a medicinal herb, but it is very large. ”
Su Jinyao has a lot of trust in Gu Xuebin, and knows that when it comes to security, he won't joke about the lives of two people.
But now the problem is that they still have two wolves with them. Su Jinyao proposed to blindfold the two wolves, tie a rope around their necks, and lead them away.
But Ah Ye has no problem, but the little she-wolf refuses to let Su Jinyao get too close, let alone blindfold it.
Moreover, Su Jinyao originally wanted to try to blindfold Ah Ye, and then let the little she-wolf follow suit, maybe she was blindfolded.
Unexpectedly, when the little she-wolf saw Su Jinyao holding a strip of cloth, she rushed up directly and bared her teeth at Su Jinyao.
Later, Ah Ye screamed, which stopped the impulse of its little daughter-in-law.
Su Jinyao had to ask Gu Xuebin: "What should I do now?" Knock the two of them unconscious and drag them away? ”
Gu Xuebin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Just take it with you, maybe they won't be confused by illusions." ”
Su Jinyao had no choice but to say to Ah Ye: "This is your little daughter-in-law who refuses to blindfold, in case something goes wrong along the way, you can solve it yourself." ”
Unexpectedly, this time Ah Ye didn't say anything, and the little she-wolf actually raised her head and howled, and then took a step and walked directly towards the Lost Forest. Look at its (tǐng) (xiōng) look up and look fearless, as if this is their back garden.
Su Jinyao didn't expect that she and Gu Xuebin had been studying for a long time, and this little she-wolf broke in so indifferently.
The wolf king Ah Ye turned out to be a daughter-in-law, and when he saw his little daughter-in-law rushing in directly, he also ran in with (pì).
Gu Xuebin laughed and said, "Let's go, Jin Yao, beasts are more able to adapt to the natural world than humans, and the woods are actually their home." If we follow them, it should be faster and safer. ”
Of course Su Jinyao knows this truth, but her face is very hurt.
The two held hands, and Su Jinyao couldn't help but smile and said: "Look, we can still be more gracious than them, whether we run or walk, we can hold hands all the time." The two of them didn't have to go. ”
Gu Xuebin pinched Su Jinyao's little nose and said with a smile: "Do you even have to compare with this?" Silly girl. ”
It's been a long time since I've heard Gu Xuebin call her a "silly girl", and Su Jinyao's heart is full of sweet memories.
Then, she sighed lightly and said, "I don't know what happened at home." Xiao Cheng'er also said that he wanted to abandon Wu Congwen, and he was deeply injured because of Zhou Cuilian's matter (qíng). ”
When she left Pingshan Village, (chūn) Niu was still taking medicine according to Su Jinyao's prescription, and she didn't know if she was pregnant now.
Sophie's face wound should still be medicated, right? I don't know if the little carpenter Xu Chenming came back to her after his three-year filial piety period expired, and would he mind the scars on her face.
There is also Su Xiangui, Su Jinyao still remembers that when she just crossed over, her father protected her with everything. Thinking about the situation that came to that point later, the world is really impermanent.
But once she traveled far away, she kept thinking about it, and she found that she was also concerned about so many people.
Gu Xuebin and Su Jinyao said as they walked inside: "Anyway, when I left, Xiaocheng'er was still in the Gu family. He was originally a scholar and guard of the old man, even if he was no longer a guard, the scholar still had to do it. You also know that the Gu family is not an ordinary family, and Xiaocheng'er is so smart and hard-working, he will be successful. ”
Su Jinyao nodded and said, "However, will the Gu family affect him because of my matter (qíng)?" He came to pick me up when I entered Beijing, and I ran away with you all the way without a shadow, which must have had an impact on him. ”
"Jinyao, if you look ahead and backwards, we won't be able to feel at ease. Stay with me, just think about me. Gu Xuebin deliberately squeezed Su Jinyao's hand hard, telling her not to think too much.
Su Jinyao said "ah" and said, "Yes, I'm not a mother, why don't I have a heart that can't be finished for the rest of my life." People have their own way to go, and their own choices, and I should support them all. ”
As he spoke, the two of them had already walked into the depths of the Mysterious Forest. The trees began to thin out a bit, and there was a bright sunset shining in the surroundings.
As you go deeper and deeper, the foliage above your head is covered by layers and layers, and the light around you gets darker and darker.
The last time she walked here, Su Jinyao was already blindfolded, so she couldn't feel the oppression of this dark forest. Now when I walk in, it seems that the shadows of the surrounding trees come to life.
It is said to be a forest of mysteries, but it is more like the feeling of a magical forest in the West. If you are a timid person, you may start to have endless horror fantasies when you walk here.
Gu Xuebin pulled Su Jinyao to the side (shēn), held her hand tightly, and the table (qíng) became serious.
Su Jinyao scratched his palm as if in response, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a person with a weak mind. And I'm not very good at fantasizing, so it's unlikely that I'll hallucinate. ”
When Su Jinyao was trained, she also received training in drug illusions. So under normal circumstances (qíng), neither the cues of the environment nor the effects of drugs are likely to affect her.
It's just that it's dark here, and the branches of the trees are twisting and turning, which has a magical artistic conception, which makes Su Jinyao even more curious.
Gu Xuebin pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Jinyao, don't underestimate this forest, if you go any further, you will be surprised." ”
"Monsters" in the woods
Gu Xuebin's words were like a small hand, scratching and scratching in Su Jinyao's heart, and the itch couldn't stand it.
She held Gu Xuebin's hand tightly, walked forward quickly, and said with a smile: "Look at Ah Ye and her little daughter-in-law have gone so far, we have to keep up." I'm going to see what the hell is going on here. ”
Although Su Jinyao is not a scientist, the psychology of human curiosity is buried in her bones. Now that this place has piqued her interest, she naturally wants to find out.
The further you go inside, the darker it becomes, and even if you don't get blindfolded, visibility is very limited.
Gradually, Su Jinyao heard the sound of "all the same" again, as if there were many people whispering.
If Su Jinyao is very good at fantasizing and is blindfolded, she will wonder if there are a lot of "people" around her who are whispering around her, and they are pointing at her in a language she doesn't understand.
But now that the eyes can see, they feel that the surroundings are not so mysterious.
The sound of "chirping" and "hehe" is the sound of the wind blowing through the top of the tree, lifting layers of leaves.
It's just that because the foliage here is dense and the trees are strangely shaped, the wind passes through the gaps, and after being filtered layer by layer, it will emit a kind of air sound similar to a dumb whistle, which is a bit like someone "talking".
It seems that science is indeed a valuable thing. Ignorant people only think crankily when they don't understand it at all, and imagine all kinds of stories about demons and monsters.
But if you figure out the principle, this forest of mysteries is not so mysterious.
Su Jinyao was secretly amused, turned her head to Gu Xuebin and said, "When I first came in, I thought there were really some ghosts and ghosts here, but now I know that it turned out to be the sound of the wind blowing leaves. ”
Gu Xuebin looked up and said, "The ghosts in the world may not be terrible, what is terrible is the human heart, and what is terrible is the hurdle that cannot be overcome in the heart." Only when everything is put down can we be truly calm. ”
"Well, let's go." Su Jinyao nodded, feeling that Gu Xuebin's words were a bit sophisticated. Thinking about everything he encountered, he could only laugh.
Gradually, that faint strange smell wafted out, and Su Jinyao knew that she was about to reach the center of this wood, and it was also the most critical place.
With the sudden softness of the feet, the (ròu) tactile sensation makes people feel very uncomfortable.
Su Jinyao looked down, at first she just saw the fallen leaves and branches all over the ground, but after taking a few steps, the bullet (xìng) became bigger and bigger, and the feeling was clearly stepping on a kind of (ròu)-group.
Su Jinyao pulled Gu Xuebin and said, "Che, I want to see what the thing is down here." And where did that strange smell come from? ”
Gu Xuebin nodded and asked, "Do you need to make a fire?" If there were torches, would you be able to see better? ”
Su Jinyao squatted down to take a look, shook her head and said, "Don't start a fire, now I can't be sure if this kind of thing will react to fire." ”
said not to light the fire, but Su Jinyao had already pulled out a dagger from the boot.
Gu Xuebin frowned slightly, then pursed his lips and smiled. His Jinyao is so special, he is not afraid of anything, he seems to be a little reckless but reckless.
And she really has the ability that ordinary people don't have, and she has real skills, so all kinds of recklessness will turn danger into disaster in the end.
However, Su Jinyao didn't really poke it down, but used the back of the knife to peel off a layer of leaves and floating soil on it, and then tapped the "ground" with the handle of the knife.
The muffled sound of "Tongtong" is like knocking on a pigskin, and it is also a very thick old sow.
But Su Jinyao would not be naïve to think that they were standing on a huge old sow (shēn). What is this thing under your feet?
"Woooooo Two wolves, one black and one white, squatted in front of Su Jinyao, staring at Su Jinyao with a curious expression.
Su Jinyao looked up at Ah Ye's little daughter-in-law and asked, "Since you walked in a big way, do you know what is down here?" ”
The little she-wolf stared at Su Jinyao with a pair of brownish and golden eyes for a while, as if she was pondering what Su Jinyao said. Then he tilted his head and looked away. I don't know if it doesn't understand Su Jinyao's words, or if it doesn't bother to talk to Su Jinyao at all.
Su Jinyao was actually deflated, but it was still a little she-wolf who gave her a look, which made Su Jinyao feel a little angry, and turned to Ah Ye and said: "Daughter-in-law should be obedient, if you have the opportunity to take care of your daughter-in-law, how can you be so blind." ”
It's just that I didn't expect that Ah Ye's intelligence was extremely high, and he looked up and howled as if he understood.
Su Jinyao thought that Ah Ye agreed with her words. Unexpectedly, the next moment, Ah Ye got up (shēn) and walked towards Gu Xuebin, slapped Gu Xuebin's arm twice with its big fluffy front paws, and then pointed at Su Jinyao's side.
At this moment, Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin all understood that Ah Ye, this guy, actually transferred this sentence to Gu Xuebin.
After being stunned for a moment, Gu Xuebin laughed "haha". The big hand grabbed the front paws of the wolf king Ah Ye and shook it, and said, "Ah Ye, don't encourage me like this. Similarly (shēn) for male (xìng), you should understand the intention of caring for your daughter-in-law, right? ”
Ah Ye "whooped", withdrew her front paws, and walked back to her little daughter-in-law (shēn).
Now Su Jinyao understands that this person and a wolf have a resonance. Forget it, she does her own research, and she doesn't care what kind of she-wolf it is.
Ignoring the two wolves that ran to the side, Su Jinyao swept away a larger leaf, wanting to see what was underneath.
Just when Su Jinyao was busy with all this, the strange smell around her became stronger, as if it was emanating from somewhere.
Gu Xuebin hurriedly tore off the hem of the two pieces of clothes, soaked them with cold water, and covered Su Jinyao's mouth and nose. Then he also covered a piece and said, "I suspect that this fragrance can be magical." ”
Su Jinyao nodded, this time she patted the "thing" under her feet with her hand, and the feel was also (ròu) (ròu), full of elastic (xìng). Like ...... A fat man's big belly.
But Su Jinyao's mind flashed, and she already had her own guess, she raised the dagger in her hand and thrust it down.
"Jin Yao!" Gu Xuebin was taken aback, but it was too late to stop it.
I saw that the dagger in Su Jinyao's hand had been slammed into the "ground" under her feet (ròu), and there was almost no handle.
Su Jinyao was still holding the dagger in her hand, and after taking a deep breath, she pulled out the dagger again with a "poof".
A large piece of Tai Sui
When Su Jinyao pulled the dagger out of the "ground", Ah Ye, who was playing a little farther away, and her little daughter-in-law were stunned, as if they had some sense, and both pairs of ears were erected.
And Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin also felt that the ground under their feet seemed to tremble slightly. It was like ripples of water, and it trembled a few times like ripples in circles.
"Jinyao, this is really alive." Gu Xuebin was a little anxious, so he came over as soon as possible and protected Su Jinyao behind (shēn).
Su Jinyao stared at the ground tightly, looked at it for a while, and then touched the place where she had just taken the knife with her hand. Then he said to Gu Xuebin: "Che, you can also touch it." ”
"Touch what?" Gu Xuebin was still cautiously vigilant and said, "Jin Yao, you are too reckless. However, in case something happens, you go first. ”
"Fool, just touch it." Su Jinyao couldn't help but take Gu Xuebin's hand and pressed his palm to the place where she inserted the knife just now.
Gu Xuebin's psychology is resistant, and the table (qíng) is indescribably awkward. But after touching his hand, he let out a surprised "huh".
"No wounds?" Gu Xuebin's hand touched back and forth, and found nothing else except the rotten leaves around him.
Su Jinyao said: "It's true that I inserted the knife so deeply, but it has only been a long time since I pulled it out, and there is no wound at all." ”
After speaking, Su Jinyao thrust the dagger into it again, this time in a different way, the blade of the dagger moved forward, turned clockwise, and ripped off a piece of the "thing" under her feet.
Gu Xuebin looked at the yellow-brown thing that Su Jinyao picked up with a dagger, and felt that the bullet trembled, translucent, not like (ròu), but like some kind of gelatin.
Gu Xuebin also deliberately touched it with his hand, and the touch of his fingertips was also a little slippery, but it was still a little sticky and had no temperature. Then he asked, "Jinyao, what is this?" ”
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a super big 'Tai Sui'." Su Jinyao put the piece of "(ròu)" in her hand back and said, "You can touch it later." ”
"Can you grow it back?" Gu Xuebin's eyes widened in surprise and stared at the ground.
Su Jinyao nodded and said, "If it's really Tai Sui, you can grow back." ”
After about a quarter of an hour, Su Jinyao touched the ground again, then shrugged her shoulders and said, "That's right, this is it." But such a large piece is really rare. ”
Gu Xuebin also touched it curiously and said, "It's really grown back." It's just that there are still a little traces. ”
After a moment of hard work, it has been restored as good as ever, and it can be regarded as amazing resilience. The traces that have been separated in that circle are estimated to be smoothed out soon.
Su Jinyao stomped on the ground with her foot and said, "Such a big piece of Tai Sui can be regarded as a rare treasure." And the medicinal value is very high, Che, we make a fortune. ”
Gu Xuebin smiled: "Poof, Jinyao, why are you thinking about money?" I thought that if you (shēn) were a healer, you would think that this thing could help more people when used in medicine, which is what it should have done. ”
